Hi
Hoping for some genuine advice, I'm a large guy 16stone and 5,11
I used to be incredible fit through sport but mainly team games. Now at the ripe old age of 50 the team games have well pasted and the "blubber has arrived " I also have been told I have high cholesterol and need to excercise to lose weight with a controlled diet.
What I wanted to ask and hope that someone has genuine advice, if I was to buy a road bike and cycle for fitness, not PBS or anything like it. How long would I need to ride for at any one time and how many times a week???
Would 4 x per week work for say 5O minutes ?
Thank you for your help.
